Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 18, 1908.

Application filed January 18, 1908. Serial No. 411,500.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, SAMUEL BIRDSEY CLARKE and HENRY CLARKE, subjects of the King of Great Britain, both residing at Cricklewood, London, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in lamps suitable for use with candles or night lights.

According to this invention the candle or night light is held in a frame so situated that the wick or wicks of the same are under a chimney which is of less diameter than the candle or night light, means being provided for raising or lowering the frame in relation to the chimney.

'The drawings illustrate a lamp made in accordance with this invention.

Figure 1 shows an elevation of the lamp with the frame in its lowermost position: and Fig. 2 is a similar view with the frame raised.

a is the lamp standard in which is a rod 1) free to move up and down in the standard. On the rod 1) is a screw thread 0 gearing with the screw nut (Z formed integrally with the ball d The ball is free to turn on the standard a as clearly indicated in the drawings. At the'top of the rod 1) there is a frame 6 supporting a ring f and a cup f in which is a dish f containing a candle f of which are the wicks. The candle is covered by a globe h through an aperture in which a chimney 1' passes, on the chimney i is a flange by means of which it is supported on the ring it carried by the arms Z. m m are spring tongues also carried by the arms Z through which the chimney i passes. The globe h is supported on the ring f The distance between the chimney "i and the candle is regulated by turning the nut d, by which the frame 0 is raised or lowered.

Fig. 2'shows the candle f partly burned and the frame 0 has been raised so as to bring the wicks g nearer the chimney.

The globe h is raised coincidently with the candle while the chimney remains stationary.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim 1s:

a candle carried thereby, a globe also supported by said frame, a chimney of less diameter than the candle situated above the frame, and means for holding a candle in proper position for burning relatively to the chimney and for raising the frame above this position after the candle has partially burned away, to raise the candle and globe.

2. In a lamp, the combination of a standard, a screw-threaded rod free to be moved up and down in the standard, a screw-nut on the standard gearing with the screw of the rod, a candle supporting frame carried by the rod, arms projecting upwardly from the standard and a chimney of less -d'iametertlna n the candle carried by the arms.

3. In a lamp, the combination of a standup and down in the standard, a screw-nut on the standard gearing with the screw of the rod, a frame carried by the rod, a candle and a globe supported thereby, arms projecting upwardly from the standard and a chimney of less diameter than the candle carried by the arms.

4. In a lamp, the combination of a standard, a screw-threaded rod free to be moved up and down in the standard, a screw-nut on the standard gearing with the screw-rod, arms projecting from the standard, a ring carried by said arms, and a chimney of less diameter than the candle provided with a flange at its upper end, engaged by said ring.

5. In a lamp, the combination of a frame, a candle supported thereby, a chimney of less diameter than the candle situated above the frame, a globe supported by said frame, and means for raising and lowering the frame in relation to the chimney and retaining it in intermediate position.-
